It's amazing - they're re-inventing the gas station with a White Castle from first principles. Maybe they'll build a Tesla Buccees with a thousand superchargers and a gift shop next. Innovation is back, everybody!
Well, they would have had to purchase one Client Access License per potential device or user that would access the website. Since there's about 5-6 billion people with internet access, and a CAL is about $50 a pop, that would be roughly two hundred and fifty billion dollars to fully and correctly license a public server.
The general guidance for networking has been to only use IPs and domains that you actually control... But even 5-8 years ago, the last time I personally touched a cisco WLC box, it still had 1.1.1.1 hardcoded. Cisco loves to break their own rules...
The Toyota hybrid system has basically no wear items. There are no clutches, belts, or delicate hydraulic systems. The whole thing is made with big hardened steel ring gears and two electric motors. There are taxis in Vancouver with over a million KM clocked with nothing other than fluid changes and brakes/suspension.
Yeah, what I've learned from films like "Threads" and "The Day After" is that you very much want to die in the first 20ms of a nuclear war. Don't dig a hole to hide in, put your lawn chair on the roof and hope you're close enough to ground zero to get a peaceful and dignified end.
The reality is that as great of an interceptor as it was (and possibly the best dedicated interceptor jet ever made), by the time it was ready it was already obsolete. With the introduction of ICBMs, there was simply no need to have jets purpose built for shooting down TU-95's over the Arctic when the new threat was impossible to shoot down.
Engines that are set up for maximum performance are absolutely not designed for longevity, so I would guess that after a record run like this it would be torn down and rebuilt sooner than later. For drag racing, engines are fully rebuilt after every single run due to the sheer amount of heat & stress put on it.
On the other hand, you have plenty of old V8's built decades ago still running just fine with regular maintenance. Low output, low stress, long life. For example, toyota de-tuned the 2UZ engine in the original Lexus LS400 to make sure it would be as smooth, reliable, and durable as possible because their reputation was staked on it.
Modern engines with small displacement and high boost turbos will probably not last as long as their predecessors because of the high stress, high heat, and low tolerances. We'll see in a few decades, I guess.
Can anybody explain in a rational way why the US gov would want to revert to a mercantilist trade policy in the 21st century? It seems to me that they're undoing a hundred years of international development to become the de-facto trade and security hegemony with no real upside. Why?
The only thing I currently run on FreeBSD is my storage box. ZFS is absolutely amazing, and FreeBSD supports it fully and without any of the "jank" you'd get running ZFS on Linux. It Just Works (tm), bottom to top. Anything else, I want what I'm familiar with on Linux, like containers and systemd services. I know some people really love pf, but I've been using iptables for so long it would be annoying to switch at this point. So really, it comes down to what you're familiar and comfortable with, and using the right tool for the job.
Americans don't want states, they want colonies. They already have territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, DC, etc) with no representation, why would they let Canadians vote?
Exactly. Even though I'm fairly confident that I wouldn't be detained at the border under dubious pretexts, and reasonably sure I wouldn't get black-bagged by ICE agents, the thought of being around a population who largely support going to war with my country isn't a comfortable experience. I've been to the northern US before and largely had no issues, but driving around with Ontario plates now that 30-50% of the population has been told to hate me isn't inviting.
It boggles my mind that anybody thought gluing exterior panels to the car was a good idea. Not just trim, entire body panels. Any other vehicle has the body as part of the actual structure, but for some reason on this one they're just decorative cladding. Is there any good reason for this?
That's totally valid. I understand the desire of k8s maintainers to prevent "cascading changes" from happening, but this one is a very reasonable feature they seem to not support.
There's a pretty common hack to make things restart on a config change by adding a pod annotation with the configmap hash:
I do something similar. Any hits on the default nginx vhost get logged, logs get parsed out and "repeat offenders" get put on the shitlist. I use ipset/iptables but this can also be done with fail2ban quite simply.
Go back, it's so worth it. I stood under those six massive turbojets and looked up in absolute awe. It's a miracle that they didn't cut it up for scrap and left a really fabulous museum piece when the project ended.
High speed rail is not a luxury, it's quite the opposite. Labour is the biggest long term expense, even after construction, so it's actually cheaper to operate faster trains. The current trip time is 10-12 hours, multiplied by the wages of a large cabin crew.
For cases like this, it's better to install the "protonmail bridge" application and use whichever local mail client you like. I have Thunderbird and a local Postfix relay aimed at my bridge and it works very well and certainly doesn't need javascript.
This is grey-hat at best. Intent may have been good, but the fact is that this team created and distributed software to access and exfiltrate data without permission which is very illegal. You may want to consult with the legal department before posting about this on a public forum fyi.
It's largely folklore, but there is a kernel of truth to it. Orange cats have a pretty "silly" attitude, kind of like golden retriever dogs. Black/tux cats are usually docile and friendly. Female tortiseshell/tabby cats are lunatics. But there's also quite a bit of individual variation. I'd say it varies more from cat to cat than the "breed" would imply.
It doesn't really need to run anything "substantial" though. Running some janky wordpress site with some scabbed-on ecommerce customizations is like 50% of the internet.
It's called "WinPE" or Windows Preinstallation Environment. It's very strange. Tools you really think would work like Powershell are completely absent by default, and when added work in unexpected ways.
Adding drivers is also painful, since it doesn't really support all of the regular windows drivers. To sideload drivers you have to do it twice, once for the install image and once for the winpe image.
*My knowledge of this stuff is about 7 years outdated, so it's possible they've improved it since then... Unlikely but possible.
I think this is the reason why "social media" seems so dead now. People stopped posting publicly (for obvious reasons) and almost all of the "social" web is in private group chats. People don't want their life broadcast permanently and prolifically anymore, and they want to share it with just a subset of their friends. The only people left posting to the "public web" are attention seekers, scammers, influencers, people that don't know any better.
I specifically bought a Mazda because it's the only car that feels safe to actually use. HVAC, audio, maps, calling, absolutely everything can be done with physical controls that minimize eyes-off-road time. There's no situation where you're sticking your arm out trying to tap some tiny on-screen button to get directions. Taking rides with other people in Teslas, subarus, fords, etc, is just wild. Having to go into a menu to change from vents to defrost is crazy, I don't understand how that's even legal.
Sadly OSSEC is largely abandoned. Back in the day it was very good for a lightweight and effective security system for those that didn't want to install full-blown antivirus on everything. I wish they would donate the project to Linux Foundation or CNCF, but it seems destined for decline.
